Here’s a guy that signs a 60 million dollar contract that forbids him from riding motorcycles and mopeds. Then only a few weeks later (he can’t even keep his word for a few weeks) he breaks the contract, tears up his ankle, and lies about it to the world. Now he complains that he’s not treated right and is being blamed for everything. He’s not treated right? What about all of us Warrior ticket holders that pay his salary. With his unecessary injury he completely RUINED last season in the same way that Jackson is RUINING this season with his unecessary whining.

Some of the players today sure are immature and selfish.

That doesn’t mean that the Warriors organization is strong. Far from it. Just about the worst in the league.
Or that Rowell is competent. Far from it. Terrible track record. Deserves to be fired.
Or that Riley is competent. (We’ll never know because Nelson calls all the shots).
Or that Nelson is a good coach. (Good at creating mismatches- unfortunately he creates them for both teams and his teams usually get the worst of them.)

There is plenty of blame to go around. But in the end, I pay to watch the players, not the coaches or the front office, and I won’t pay $50-100 a seat to watch a bunch of petty, self-centered, i’ve-never-done-anything-wrong-in-my-life, my-careers-to-short-to-waste-here losers that just want to join a winning organization because they don’t have what it takes to turn a losing organization into a winning organization. Good bye and good riddance.

I used to think that the Pacers got the short end of the Murphy-Dunleavy for Harrington-Jackson trade. I don’t think so anymore.

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 22:09:22 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/?p=6329#comment-43608Get rid of Stephen Jackson. Its not his attitude that I don’t want around anymore. Its his game. Yes, he can play defense when he wants to and yes, he can make a few nice passes every game. But I am really tired of watching so many possessions start out in the hands of Jackson. Most of the time he dribbles on the perimeter for 10 seconds, (makes his teammates clear the lane so there are no offensive rebounders in position) and then launches a 20 or 22 footer that clanks off of the rim. Baron used to do the same thing 10 times a game. The warriors have a few great shooters. Jackson is not one of them.

The cheap (insert whatever you want) Cohan deserves to lose.

Totally agree with you on the history of Warriors players who have been moved. Of them all, only Arenas and Webber were successful as alpha dogs as you put it… the rest looked better while they played with much better players.

Byron Scott has been to the NBA Finals twice, Coach of the Year, has won consistently everywhere he goes. The shelf life of an NBA coach with one team is only a couple seasons anyways. Make the move now!

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:34:59 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/?p=6329#comment-43600I knew you would side with the players again as you premised in your blog earlier this week trying to explain your overall outlook on things, and I’m certainly not trying to lift any blame off of Nellie cause in any argument it takes two to tango, so he’s not innocent by any means. But to me, this just goes to show you that guys like Monta and Jack don’t have what it takes upstairs to be the alpha dog, top player on this team or any other team they may play for. If Monta were the supposed best player and captain of the team, he would be taking all the criticism and putting the blame on his shoulders, CAUSE THATS WHAT THE BEST PLAYER ON A TEAM IS SUPPOSED TO DO! Instead, he shrugs off questions after they get blown out and he plays bad, never takes responsibility for his horrible start to the season (I don’t care what the stats say, he’s been terrible). What’s gonna happen is, they’re gonna get moved to a team where they’re the 3rd best players on the team and suddenly they will look a lot better, cause they don’t have to be the alpha dogs. Then you moron reporters will say, “Look at Monta and Jack, as soon as they leave the W’s they turn into players again.” When in reality, they would have done that here if there were better players here to shoulder that load. People like say……..Baron Davis, the guy they had before Rowell low balled him into leaving. I swear of all the stupid things he’s done to kill this franchise that is #1 in my book cause they had something here, and it was predicated on star level talent. And when Baron left, it went right back to guys not good enough to be all stars who are thrust into that role cause that’s all they have.

So again, while I totally understand and agree that Nellie deserves his share of the blame, what really needs to be said is “Shut up Monta, you whiny little bitch”.
